It's up to you to sit down and write your goals. Work through how you feel about things and what bothers you. Maybe try getting into the mindset of not "transitioning", but "gender unmasking" - focus on letting your inner needs shine, rather than go through a checklist of what you "have to do".

Also if possible, the most generic advice, get more out to people (in real life!) to learn which interactions and opinions make you feel good and which you'd like to correct. Get support from the local community (and contribute back). I'm an awful introvert, so I know this can be hard, but even a bit of IRL interactions goes a long way when you're working through stuff and in doubt

I was taking it slowly ta first and basically waiting until my if photo would match target gender better. Now I slightly regret not starting earliest possible, as the weight of having non-matching names grew heavy quickly, and the bureaucrats in my regressive citizenship country made sure it's taking years instead of months (happy I still have the option at all though! If I had to get another citizenship/asylum and never have the option to correct a birth certificate, it'd really suck)
